History

edit

The FPF made changes to Peruvian football competitions in 1973.[4] Among them the elimination of the Peruvian Segunda División. Later, in 1975, the Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima and the Región IX Metropolitana were created.[5]

The Región IX Metropolitana, was a final group of the best representatives of the teams from the capital, for their classification to the regional or national stage of the Copa Perú. It was the final phase after the Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima. The number of teams varied by season, between 6 and 8 teams.

With the implementation of the Peruvian División Intermedia, promotion was offered to Intermedia B and the National Stage to the Copa Perú between 1984 and 1988.[citation needed]

Finally, in 1992, the Región IX Metropolitana was eliminated and replaced by the Región Promocional de Lima y Callao and years later, by the Interligas de Lima championship.[6]

Clarification

edit
  • The Liga Mayor de Fútbol de Lima and Región IX Metropolitana, from 1975 to 1986, acted as different competitions. The best teams from the district stage entered the Liga Myaor. Later, the best ranked teams participated in Region IX. There they faced the teams from the capital that participated in the regional or national stage of the previous season.
  • In 1987, the Liga Mayor disappeared, but its teams participated in the Región IX Metropolitana. However, for many newspapers of the time, both competitions merged into one with the name Liga Mayor de Lima - Region IX. It remained in force until 1990.
  • The Región Promocional de Lima y Callao, was a promotion competition system that is different from the Liga Mayor de Lima and the Región IX Metropolitana. Because the Callao teams were incorporated into the format. At that time, the teams from Lima and Callao had a different promotion route than the rest of the teams in the Copa Peru.
